Perks of maintaining a dairy

I have this old-school habit of maintaining dairy/journal. I keep writing whatever I feel, or expressing my feeling! Expressing my feelings in this diary is like therapy for me. 

I share a bond with the diary. I see huge benefits in doing this activity like-

1.  Handwriting improvement.
2. Creative writing skill enhancement.
3. Improvement in memory and recall. 
4. Recap the past - Past joyful incidences rejuvenate me. And instead of going to a low while reading the not-so-happy notes, I try to have a sense of gratitude that I've come out of that down time.  
5. Stay organized- The diary is my best reference book.
6. Reduces stress- There are some times when I go through a lot of stress, and I cannot or do not know with whom I can express those feelings. At that time, writing down in my diary helps me! Writing works as a channel to release stress. It is a good therapy. 

Writing my diary is nothing less than a perk!!
